Based on my past experience with an educated Thai GF (my ex is a micro-biologist) in the middle class-upper middle class, if you focus solely on this post, you may find your answer…. 1. ‘Family obligations’ are often used as an excuse to not being able to work ‘for now’. They often choose to take-on the ‘task’ to gain favor in the family and/or hide other activities. 2. There is probably a reason the sister is not involved, though you will never get a straight answer. 3. Living Off Assets… Big red flag as some educated Thai women will have the opportunity to have a good job, but prefer the freedom of having a BF or Husband or other windfall profit support them. When the relationship fails or the money is gone…rinse & repeat. 4. Work history: They will have a vague work history often interlaced with a multitude of reasons they left their job or similar. In the end, while many Thai ladies are very responsible & hardworking, some are very irresponsible and just want to play. Due to the family background, working the bars or similar is not acceptable so they become serial GF /wives with the only real intention being to live an easy life off the backs of others. Hopefully, this helps and you can find a way forward that works for you. Cheers

Assuming you are correct, and if the switch could be made today, please list your top 3 picks for POTUS and why each is uniquely qualified.

Thanks for the solid information. Could you share a link to the specific shop on Lazada? cheers 👍

Yes, I have been there while living in CM and the majority that fit my shoulders & arms have a potato sack torso and poor cut. Thanks

I would suggest you read the constitution again, specifically Article II Powers of the President. These powers have been affirmed in modern times via the numerous US Presidents who have taken specific & limited military action to protect the nation. These powers supersede the War Powers Act as the Constitution can only be revised via a Constitutional Amendment. Congress does have the power to formally ‘Declare War’ but it is not stated they hold power higher than the Commander in Chief to take military action. Additionally Congress has the power to defund military actions (ex: Vietnam War) thus preventing further action.

Thanks, I have some Uniglo shirts but their selection is limited…

Thanks, they rarely have shirts on the rack that properly fit.

Tax & shipping on a Polo XL was 104.00 last week added to 125-150 for the shirt. Almost the same cost as purchasing local but I still need to try it to ensure a proper fit.

Maybe your size… I wear a 36 (sometimes 34) in pants & shorts. 👍

Thanks

Thanks, I have never been there but if I cannot find something at the malls maybe I will take a look.

FYI: One does not need to be ‘fat or obese’ to require extra large shirts to properly fit. 😎

Thank you for the reply, sometimes I can find shirts at Uniqlo, or AIIZ though I need the XXXL and the arm & shoulders are often tight. I am thinking to go to BKK for shopping, could you recommend a shopping mall for me to visit. I rarely go to BKK, so any choice I make is random at best. thanks ..T

Thanks, I have looked in Udon & Khon Kaen and they do not normally have my size. ( W36 CH48)

Ten years in Thailand now, and looking for decent quality men’s button down & Polo shirts at a fair price. It has become increasingly difficult to find in US size XL or equivalent. I’ve tried the local 3XL though most are too small in the arms & chest. Any suggestions for a good location to find off the rack? It is best for me to try the fit in a store, as online efforts have been a bit disappointing. Not looking for a tailor, but can travel from Isaan as required to most any location with decent shops. Thanks, T

I would assume the outrage is a result of the foreigner doing an activity reserved for only the locals…

Will the Drones be fitted with telephoto ‘QR’ code payment processing to provide a rapid & seamless ‘Catch & Release’ service? 😎😎😎

Thank you for the replies, it is very helpful. 🙏

A good Thai friend of 8 years has a father with stage 3 colon cancer with small cancer nodules the lungs. Following surgery recovery, he will begin chemotherapy at the Udon Thani Cancer Center. She has savings to pay up to 1,000,000 Thb, and needs advice on best way forward regarding a long-term payment plan or similar. She is very responsible, intends to cover the cost herself 100% and wants to prepare for this serious life-event. Does anyone have experience with this type of situation, and what options available to Thai citizens regarding payment? Please serious replies only. Thank you

Given the email instructs the recipient to complete and return by email would indicate this is either very poor security by K-Bank or a scam. Returning these forms via email could expose the respondent to identity theft.

The argument against Smiths appointment is that he was a private citizen and did not go through the defined appointment process. Durham was serving as an officer of the court and had already been through the appointment process, thus allowing AG Barr to legally appoint him as Special Counsel. ——————— Attorneys who authorize the investigation and prosecution of federal crimes must be officers of the United States because they wield significant government power. Under the clause, there are just two ways of qualifying as an officer of the United States: the appointee must either be (a) nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, or (b) appointed to a position that “shall be established by law” — which is to say, by a congressional statute. Smith, who has run the Trump investigations since his SC appointment by Garland on November 18, 2022, was not appointed under either of those procedures. To the contrary, he was purportedly appointed under the Justice Department’s SC regulations. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/andy-mccarthy-on-why-jack-smith-appointment-was-unconstitutional/

RCBO MCB’s can go bad overtime, and require replacement. 😅

On what legal basis would it be against the Constitution of the United States of America?

It appears the small rescue vessel is caught in a river vortex, possibly from a subsurface drain or similar. This will suck the boat in and under. Maybe the boat was unpowered and could not be navigated in the swift waters. The video shows a Rescue Jetski type craft in rapidly moving water, and needing good skill to maintain position in the current. This is a sad event, with CM now about 50% impacted by flood waters, with shortages of food and water becoming a real concern.

It is curious to me that the current record level of flooding in Chiang Mai is seemingly being ignored by many media outlets. The attached photos are all from today and courtesy of Chiang Mai News. Approximately 50% of the greater CM area ( mostly the Eastern side) is now flooded including portions of the superhighway. The water is slowly moving south of the city, and peak flood levels subsiding. Additionally, they have stopped fresh water production in many areas, affecting up to 500,000 people. Food supplies in the city are getting low, with many volunteers bringing in supplies and rescuing those trapped. https://www.facebook.com/chiangmainews?mibextid=LQQJ4d
